After discovering this really cool stationary store on our Minimoon in Portland, Oblation Papers & Press, the Hubs and I decided that we'd both love to take a letterpress class.
Once returned from said Minimoon, I was itching to bake but lacked in ingredients - so I made these super easy and healthy Thumbprint Cookies (they're vegan - only I substituted chocolate chips for the jam).
I bought some much needed winter work shoes - Nine West Nostalgia Pumps only $49 at Off-Broadway Shoes.
Our first married trip to the pumpkin patch. We picked up two medium pumpkins and two medium butternut squash.
We had 4 golden delicious and 5 red delicious apples on their last leg, so I turned them all into this delicious Apple Tart (with pre-made crust, because "real baking" scares me).
Lastly, I decided to try a bit of "real baking" and try my hand at a Butternut Squash Souffle. Sadly, as this was my true first attempt at a souffle, I managed to dump everything INCLUDING the egg whites into my blender, only to remember at the last minute about the whole "carefully folding" thing - so I had to "carefully fold" all the non-pre-mixed ingredients together, which is why I imagine they didn't rise too much (too heavy). While not impressive, they were, however, very tasty.Well, I've found that with no succinct future event to plan, I tend to be a bit dispersed. I have freedom at hand at the moment - I'm married with a great job and a lot of free time. Therefore, the question of the day (and yesterday and tomorrow) is, "what should I do?"
I take interest in knitting, cooking/baking, fashion, design, organization, crafting, snarky stories of douchebaggery, puppers/kitters, technology, shopping, volunteer work, event planning, stationary, traveling - all quite substantial topics in their own right. So how do I decide upon my next blogging venture?
If I blog about them all, do I become one of those bloggers? The ones that could only dream of a blogging audience that could fit in their pantry?
If I blog about one topic, how do I keep my roaming attention-span at bay? I simply am not one of those people who eats, sleeps, dreams about the perfect garden (though I'm jealous of those that are).
I'm at this point in life, a lull, what have you, where I'm post-nupital and pre-baby. The hubs and I have a short moment in time where we can be selfish in our daily ventures before truly "settling down." And, well, there is simply no fat chance in any locale that I can stop blogging about it.
So I sit here, dispersed in my blogging ideas and not knowing where to go. Any ideas?
